STD testing London – reassurance

Too worried to book STD testing? London’s City clinic can help to reassure you.

At Moorgate Medical, we know that coming for STD testing is a big step. It can be embarrassing because of the nature of the tests and the circumstances in which you may have contracted a sexually transmitted disease. It can be worrying because you don’t know what you might have – or what long-term health problems may be caused.  At Moorgate, our job is to reassure you about the potential dangers, provide a comfortable and well-equipped environment for you to come to, and advice and treatment you can rely on.

STD testing at London’s City clinic

Based in the City of London, we are ideally placed to offer STD testing services to a wide range of people. Whether you live or work in the City, you can visit our walk-in clinic, or call us for a same-day appointment. We do our very best to make things as easy as possible for you, so that you can relax and get through the testing process without any problems. Don’t worry about the STD testing process – it’s not as invasive as you might believe and, in fact, many common STDs can be found simple by testing a urine sample – if you’re planning a walk-in visit, try not to pass urine for around 3 hours before your visit.

Here’s how we can help to reassure you:

• When you call – we can explain the testing procedure to you and set your mind at rest about the way the tests are conducted. We can give you an appointment the same day, or at a future date that’s convenient for you. You can also ask for STD testing to be taken by a specialist of the same sex.

• When you arrive – our staff are friendly and informative, and we have comfortable waiting areas. Our offices are in a discreet location, so you don’t have to worry about anyone seeing you arriving – and because we offer a wide range of medical and dental services, people won’t automatically assume that you’re here for STD testing.

• When you get tested – we will explain the tests and how they work, and answer any questions you might have. We are efficient so that the STD testing doesn’t take too long, but we’re also sympathetic and friendly, so you can relax.

• When you get the results – we can either give the results to you over the phone or in person. If we have detected STDs such as Chlamydia or Herpes, we can prescribe the relevant treatment – and we have a chemist on-site so you can get the medication straight away. If we have found evidence of the HIV virus, we can recommend a specialist to you for further consultation.
